The Nürburgring circuit is 99 years old this year, and for over half of its existence – this will be its 52nd year – it has played host to the Oldtimer-Grand-Prix, one of the first race meetings for historic cars on the planet. Many of the sports, touring and monoposto cars that now regularly take part in the event didn’t even exist when the first Oldtimer-Grand-Prix was run. And as time moves on and each era becomes ‘historic’, new series are added to the programme.

While pre-war cars will still feature, along with sports cars of the ‘50s and ‘60s as well as the Grand Prix cars of the ‘50s to the mid-‘60s of the HGPCA – very much a tradition at the Oldtimer – this year several premieres and special highlights are promised.

The DRM cars form one of the most popular grids at the Oldtimer. This year they will be joined by their DTM successors

The new “Formula Heritage” is the first dedicated grid in Germany exclusively for Formula cars from the 1970s to the 1990s. The aim is to bring to life an impressive cross-section of international formula racing from the era.

Another new grid, the “Class ONE Revival,” will bring together the exciting DTM Class 1 cars from 1993 to 2020 – including major manufacturers, well-known drivers, and the personalities who significantly shaped the era. The Interwetten Sports Car Challenge will add another highlight to the program. Around 20 high-performance prototypes, including LMP3 and PRC cars are expected to provide exciting races and spectacular motorsport.
